You are an artist ! YOU HAVE JUST FORGOTTEN !!!
Art is made with the intention of stimulating thoughts and emotions, but I strongly believe that arts can also stimulate concrete actions to make the world a better place, starting by individual, businesses, cities …
How’s that possible?
WARNING : Before you read further , there is on belief you need to change right now in order to continue reading this post :
I am not an artist! What, when, where, did you start believing that?
What is your definition of an artist?
1. A person who creates art.
2. A person who creates art as an occupation.
3. A person who is skilled at some activity.
4. One who makes their craft a fine art (Oxford English Dictionary)
5. One who cultivates one of the fines arts (Oxford English Dictionary
6. A person whose creative works shows sensitivity and imagination ( Princeton. Edu.)
7. A person who expresses themselves through a medium". The word also is used in a qualitative sense of, a person creative in, innovative in, or adept at, an artistic practice.
From Wiki :
Often, discussions on the subject focus on the differences among "artist" and "technician", "entertainer" and "artisan", "fine art" and "applied art", or what constitutes art and what does not. The French word artiste (which in French simply means "artist") has been imported into the English language where it means a performer (frequently in Music Hall or Vaudeville). Use of the word "artiste" can also be a pejorative term.[3]
The English word 'artist' has thus, a narrower range of meanings than the word 'artiste' in French.
I think that is where the confusion starts … so many different words… too many words… with different meanings in different languages !!!! How is it then possible to recognize a real artist in all that chaos ? And how is it even possible to start thinking of Arts as a mean to change the world?
( Microsoft is getting somewhat close to the answer I am looking for ... with their collaborative platform museum of never ending art... well, that is a starting point to bigger ideas of what is possible to create with arts)
My own definition of an artist is a person who first believe he is one !
2- that has the power to hold the paint brush (metaphorical image here)
3- to create a masterpiece out of whatever is doing ( creating a software, writing a book, finding a solution to any problem)
4- to make the world a better place ( now that is a through artist )
Picasso said : We are all artist we have just forgotten !
I say we are all artist the day we finally admit that being an artist is owning the power of your own creativity to build anything that your creativity envisions ( well Disney said something close to that too) .... Imagine the possibilities that will emerge when everyone starts stating '' I am an artist '' and start creating their piece of the masterpiece ... +++
I am asking which kind of artist are you ? What is your medium ?

Living a life of inspiration
Living a life of inspiration means that you are sharing your gifts and talents with the world... It's not in getting people to paint that I find inspiration... it's by seeing them reconnecting with their creativity so rapidly ... going outside of their comfort zone... isn'it how we innovate and reinvent our lives ? Having the courage to go beyond our own limitations ... that's true transformation.

Merci Antoine you inspired me to turn the white into blue, your colors are my joy !

More than ever committed to get the entire World to paint
Every day I wake up finding new ways to live '' on purpose '' and get more and more people to reconnect with there artistic skills... I have been facilitating a workshop now for over 7 years where I get business people to paint in an abstract way to master change and chaos. The results are beyond imagination... Here's the paintings of 165 accountants during a business convention held in Quebec... who can tell it was masterpiece created by accountants...
My main goal is to democratize arts and give the individuals around the world, access to their own creativity to solve problem at a different level of thinking ...
